Yes! I get it! I finally understand the infield-fly rule!!
The Infield Fly Rule is easy: it is just meant to prevent the fielding team from taking advantage of a pop-up fly when there are runners on base. By letting the ball drop – they can get 1 or 2 maybe 3 outs as the tagged-up runners are forced to run when the ball hits the ground. Instead, they are forced to accept the single out from a easy pop-up fly.
